@JeffStelling @Ally_McCoist9 Any chance of either of you doing any research on Villa’s incomings this summer?

Painfully explained this morning, one or two incomings… we’ve signed like for like on every outgoing positionally, with most from PL or UCL clubs.

Total nonsense again

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Avilla2022 @Carra23 Clubs scout players all the time. Do you think Emery signed him because he was scouted by Gerrard? Or because he saw potential in him and thought he could make it work…

Either way, he was signed under Unai Emery.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

Sounds like you’re creating a false agenda @Carra23

Normally well researched but this is lazy

Duran, Rogers, Diaby, Youri, Pau, Barkley, Onana - all signed under UE and all at the level. To criticise him for a couple of bad ones is mad.

Would you do that with other managers?

[Sky Sports Premier League @SkySportsPL]

🗣️ "If there is one criticism on Unai Emery, it would probably be his signings at Aston Villa"

@Carra23 says there will be more eyes on Villa's signings this summer.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

Horrible challenge from McGinn 🤣🤣

How was that given as a foul?!

[Trentvilla @Trentvilla1]

Imagine trying to claim this is a high boot

Ridiculous #avfc

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Benjmeister85 Smith didn’t only sign superstars…

Drinkwater, Baston, Marvellous, Samatta, Wesley, Sanson, Engels…

All managers have poor signings for a number of reasons but I don’t think Emery should be singled out as being a poor operator for recruitment.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@andydaviesref @ESPNUK @espn @ESPNFC @EverythingVAR What about the penalty that Maatsen should have had for a pull back by Ben White?

Nothing on that one Andy?

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Avilla2022 @Carra23 Wrong. He was signed in January 23 by Emery.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Harry19789132 @Carra23 He’s turned a lot of profit from his signings!

I’m sure he would have liked to have kept a few too but for ludicrous anti business PSR/SCR rules.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Christophe5fre @39401Sammyel @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport @GuillemBalague I’d be more concerned if my club gave Johan Lange an open chequebook.

The bloke is clueless at elite level recruitment. Good luck!

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

Not being a dick here @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport but have either of you done any research on Villa before coming out with this?

I don’t know a single concerned fan. Cautious, of course, but concerned, no

No fresh faces coming in? We’ve signed 8

“Disarray” is laughable.

@Christophe5fre @39401Sammyel @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport @GuillemBalague Tielemans and Digne were release clauses - who negotiated their contracts oh yeah… Unai.

Villa have got £110m for Konsa and Watkins. A new contract would have protected the value - it certainly wouldn’t have added much.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Christophe5fre @39401Sammyel @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport @GuillemBalague As a Villa fan I’m extremely excited to see the squad refreshed. Anyone that watched us Jan - April last season knows we needed it.

I’m not saying we will win the league, but within the next year we will be stronger than we were.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Christophe5fre @39401Sammyel @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport Spurs fan that spends 90% of his time tweeting about Villa…

Get a fucking life fella.

If Unai wasn’t making the decisions he would walk I’m certain, have a read of @GuillemBalague’s book if you’re that interested in Villa - maybe you’ll see Unai controls the lot.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@Christophe5fre @39401Sammyel @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport Hahaha, you’re talking rubbish.

Unai needed to refresh the squad - he will have realised this between Jan - April this year.

Only way to do that was biting the bullet and selling a few big names.

Tielemans and Digne the only two he hasn’t approved.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

We’ve actually spent 7 of the last 20 years in the top 6 of the premier league, genius.

[Football Confidential 🌐 @footballconfid1]

Aston Villa, a tiny provincial club who have spent most of the last 20yrs either in the Championship or fighting relegation, spend all their money on wages, and make nothing from their archaic stadium, yet are being allowed to splash €55m on a player.

It’s just not fair Andy.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@davilla82 @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport I don’t disagree with that suggestion.

But the suggestion we’re in disarray and Unai might not have bought into what’s going on is pathetic. Unai has orchestrated the lot.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

@39401Sammyel @Ally_McCoist9 @DFletcherSport You agree there’s no fresh faces and Villa are in “disarray”?

You must be as clueless as them.

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

On top of this @DFletcherSport, Unai runs the club - you know this too.

Olabe is his man - and UE has never had his own squad at the club - he’s used this summer as a chance to refresh an ageing squad and put his stamp on it.

The average age has dropped and we will be stronger

[The Boys in Claret and Blue @TBICAB]

What is actually wrong with our press??

They’re all competing with each other to leak the team, it’s beyond embarrassing. Will be the first ones on Tuchel’s back if we have a poor tournament too.

@RobbieSavage8 @chris_sutton73

Not a foul in December - but it is now?

The officials are refereeing occasions differently all the time, referee for this was today’s VAR Darren England.

An absolute disgrace and Howard Webb should be sacked asap.
